im so sorry... she's only a few months younger than me. back in march, a girl i used to sit next to in english my sophomore year died of cancer. I dont understand why? why did that have to happen? I remember her bubbly personality and her jokes, the way we used to talk about makeup, etc.... why? kids from my school get shot, get beat to death, but her death is the only one that makes me cry. it hurts so bad to think about her... people went to her funeral who didnt even know her... i didnt go because i was not a true friend, just a good accquaintance. JM, you are always in my heart, a reminder to me.
